MSAC Magazine (1)

This week, I choose "The Yoga of Bodysurfing" in the magazine section. I love yoga even though I still can't master on it. I started doing yoga from three years ago intermittently. That's a really good exercise which can release my stress, shape my body, and the most important thing is calm down my mind. At the beginning of the magazine, it talks about the Pranayama breathing. This is a best breath style. it can increase our body get more oxygen. I'm used to breathing this way for a long time which makes me more healthier and strong my vital capacity.
Secondly, which is what I still can't do is Asana. According to the magazine, it shows that the Asana consists in beauty, grace, strength, and adamantine hardness. I so envy those people can do this well every time when I attend the yoga class. Sometimes I get questions that it is I'm not enough slender or my body is out of work. I try to make it; however, my couch said that it takes time. I know I'm gonna make it if I practice day by day.
In conclusion, I just want to say yoga is really really really good. Take your time to try it. You're gonna love it.

After Reading Stoicism Lite

After I read Stoicism Lite, there are one part I really love. According to the book, it said " What you shun enduring yourself, attempt not to impose on others. You shun slavery—beware of enslaving others! If you can endure to do that, one would thing you had been once upon a time a slave yourself. For Vice has nothing in common with virtue, nor Freedom with slavery" That's a great idea. Enduring is really hard. You might suffer from pain, anger, sadness and so on. However, we still can't impose all the negative action or attitude on others. Which is right that when you  copy your negative feeling to others, it will also return to yourself. Gradually, you will feel like you are slaving by yourself. In the last sentence, it also shows the truth that virtue and vice can not live together. 

I remember when I went to cam school five years ago. A teacher told students that " You are what you do. Don't say how people judge you. You are what you do,again." Her speech woke up me. I always do my best to make everything perfect because I don't want people especially the older to talk about my shortcoming. Finally, I just feel that the teacher's speech is very useful in the rest of my life.  

Does God Exist?

I saw many people discuss if god exist in the blackboard. I want to share some of my opinion. First of all, after I read those required book and watched all the videos, I believed everybody has their own opinion. I also talk about some of them in my previous post. Well, I'm a Christian. To me, I believe there are god live in my life. However, I even more believe that I create my all god. I mean I respect any kind of religion. Sometimes, it's all about the fate between you and god. Some people might believe in the Buddhism, some might believe in Jesus, and others might believe only themselves. Therefore, I can't say which is right or wrong. It's all right or all wrong because nobody can prove the exist of god. That's why I say I create my own god no matter who this is.
In addition, I also talked about sometimes people just wants to take the advantage from religion. I mean I can't  deny that more and more people believe in God. Therefore, I can't promise that some leaders are really pious because it can pretend. That happens.
Finally, I still want to emphasize that no matter there are god or not, it's all about "BELIEVE"!

After Reading The Life of Pythagoras

After I read The Life of Pythagoras, I feel that this book make Pythagoras an oracle. Well, most of the contents in this book are all about the God. Sometimes, I don't understand why back to the ancient, there are so many people dedicate in the religion. Isn't human beings important? How come people can live for God not for themselves? All the philosophers advocated piety, to sacrifice for God and so on. Sometimes, I might think that all the ideas were come from human's desire of power and desire of control.

After Reading How Socrates Died

Well, previously, how interesting the book is! I love the way it shows the debating communication. It shows how people think clearly. Back to the main point now, I do really have some ideas after I read the book. There are so many dialogues that look  similar. It makes me deep thinking and get some confused. One of my opinion is what piety is or what impiety is. According to the books, at first, Euththyphro said that loving gods means piety, hating is impiety. However, how people tell you are pious  or not? In my opinion, I believe all the behaviors are based on how people think which is good, pious, and so on. Even though I believe there are the Gods exits, I still feel that what we do now is just want to make people think we are a pious person. It's not you really love god or god loves you. How do you know god is right there and watch all of us? To me, I believe that the gods are what people create in our mind. He just exits in our deep heart. What we really need to do is not to let ourselves feel guilty or sorry. Do the right things that reasonable to ourselves.
In addition, Socrates combined his opinion with math which shows that he is not only a think-thinker, he did the provident that all the philosophy still need to make sense with science. Also, that's a good way to understand the meaning which he discussed.

About Francis Fukuyama's Interview

After I saw the interview about the Professor Fukuyama, there are some points that I'm kind of agree with that. For examples, in "being good without god," he talks about that our behavior everyday are based on our culture. In fact, I do believe that because even thought there are more and more people live in unique lifestyle, the culture influence us invisibly. That's true which we can't move.
